Official Jays Care News Release
As announced on Sportsnet’s Blue Jays Central, Jays Care Foundation, the charitable arm of the Toronto Blue Jays, is proudly committing more than $2.6 million in infrastructure investments in 2026 to build and refurbish baseball diamonds across Canada through its granting program, Field of Dreams made possible by TD.
This is the largest infrastructure investment Jays Care has ever made through the Field of Dreams program, furthering Jays Care’s commitment to growing grassroots baseball across Canada and ensuring more kids have the opportunity to grow through the power of baseball.
Twenty-two organizations across seven provinces will receive funding to build, enhance, or refurbish local baseball diamonds in their community. These diamonds will help expand the game of baseball across Canada, while providing kids with a safe and inclusive space to build character, resilience, and find a sense of belonging in their community.
Since the program’s inception in 2000, Jays Care has invested more than $24 million in 262 Field of Dreams projects across the country. Communities are selected through a two-step application and grading process that begins in September of the previous year.
